Hi All,
Sorry if this is a stupid question but has anyone had any issues having an MRI scan with the metal wire in their sternum post heart-bypass?
Thanks

The wires are made from either 316 stainless steel or Titanium neither metals are magnetic so I would not have thought a problem. I also would not think they would do a MRI if any danger
Thanks Gilreid, I figured that was probably the case but good to know!
Hi,
I had open heart surgery and 12 months later a MRI scan with no bother. 😊
Hello there. I have a mechanical aortic valve (St Jude) and had open heart surgery in December 2019. After checking with my cardiologist team, I had an MRI scan some two months ago with no problems.
Hi. No problem with my wires during MRI
Great, thanks all for the comments!
