Degenerative mitral regurgitation due to posterior leaflet prolapse is often associated with tissue redundancy in the leaflet height and free margin of the prolapsing segment. The butterfly technique has been introduced for focal resection to precisely control the leaflet height without annular plication. This technique is indicated for a high prolapsing leaflet, greater than 20 mm. With intraoperative measurement of leaflet heights and ink dot marking as a depth indicator, the butterfly technique can be safely performed in most high posterior leaflet prolapse cases, without increasing the risk of systolic anterior motion.

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 method minimizes resection in the target segment, and it prevents systolic anterior motion by reducing the height of the posterior leaflet according to the amount of excess tissue. We have used this technique for 60.4% (29 of 48) of posterior leaflet prolapse cases with zero hospital mortality and no morbidity. Postbypass transesophageal echocardiography identified no more than mild regurgitation and no sign of systolic anterior motion. During 13.1 ± 6.8 months of follow-up, patients neither died nor needed reoperation.
