We have read the article entitled
‘‘Hourglass-shaped resection technique
for repair of tall mitral valve posterior
prolapse’’ by Sawazaki and colleagues1
with great interest. They have well
described their novel method for repairing a high posterior leaflet of the mitral
valve. They have adopted triangular
resection for a posterior leaflet of normal
height, and an hourglass resection for
an excessively high posterior leaflet
without annular plication.
