  Is it possible that the Sophy® and Polaris® valves be dislocated from their implantation site under MRI? Back  
 
  NO !!!

Cf : study of Ortler, Neurosurgery, Vol.40, No 5, May 1997:

"… the force acting on the valves during MRI is not strong enough to dislocate or rotate a valve."
"… the torque acting on a Sophy® Valve corresponds approximately to the torque acting on a Mc Fadden aneurysm clip."
