A new design for posterior leaflet resection,“butterfly resection,” is proposed. It is a
combination of two triangular resections in the prolapsing posterior leaflet segment. This …

Butterfly resection is a mitral valve repair technique for prolapsing posterior leaflets. The aim
of butterfly resection is to optimize the geometry of the resultant new leaflet, with controlled …

Triangular resection is a reconstructive option for treatment of anterior leaflet mitral disease
with segmental prolapse. In our experience, it is a safe and reproducible technique …

Posterior leaflet quadrangular resection is the most commonly performed mitral valve repair
procedure for patients with degenerative mitral valve disease. After resection, the remaining …

OBJECTIVE: The results of mitral valve repair for anterior leaflet prolapse have been less
gratifying than those reported for posterior leaflet prolapse. We compared the long-term …

Mitral valve repair is currently considered the standard treatment for mitral regurgitation.
Posterior leaflet prolapse has been treated by quadrangular resection and ring annuloplasty …

Objective The present study aims to examine the medium-term results of butterfly resection.
Methods Of 587 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for mitral regurgitation …

BACKGROUND: Quadrangular resection is a standard repair technique for prolapsing
posterior leaflet; however, systolic anterior motion (SAM) sometimes occurs. Butterfly …

Objective Avoiding resection to treat posterior leaflet prolapse has become popular to repair
degenerative mitral regurgitation. We never subscribed to such simplification but advocated …

Objective We developed a repair technique for an excessively high posterior leaflet of the
mitral valve. This is an improvement of the folding plasty. Methods The resection shape is …
