There have been many techniques applied to the repair of mitral valve prolapse, and the method used in a particular case is usually selected according to the position and extent of the lesion. To simplify and standardize the technique of mitral valve repair, we have adopted the resection, sliding plasty and ring annuloplasty methods since December 1992. Of 10 consecutive surgical cases, 2 involved prolapse of the anterior leaflet, 1 the posteromedial commissural, and 7 the posterior leaflet. One patient with posterior leaflet prolapse required valve replacement due to dehiscence of the plastied site on the 3rd postoperative day, and one died because of sepsis. However, the remaining patients were doing well without mitral regurgitation at a mean of 20 months (range: 8-32) after the operation. The advantages of these techniques include easy adjustment of the height of the leaflet and a good chance of long-term durability, since the affected lesion is resected.
