Minimally invasive cardiac surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Minimally invasive (MI) cardiac surgery was introduced to reduce problems associated with a full sternotomy. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effects of minimally invasive cardiac surgery on a range of clinical outcomes. METHODS To identify potential studies (randomised/prospective clinical trials) systematic searches were carried out. The search strategy included the co...
