Key result
Minimally invasive CABG was associated with less intraoperative blood loss (P=0.002), shorter ventilation (P=0.002), and shorter hospital stay (P=0.003) than conventional sternotomy.

Does a minimally invasive approach improve perioperative outcomes compared to conventional mid-sternotomy in patients undergoing CABG?
Minimally invasive CABG offers faster recovery and less blood loss than conventional sternotomy, though with longer surgical times.
Baishya et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease requiring CABG. Minimally invasive (MI) approach for CABG vs. Conventional mid-sternotomy approach was evaluated. Minimally invasive CABG was associated with less intraoperative blood loss (P=0.002), shorter ventilation (P=0.002), and shorter hospital stay (P=0.003) than conventional sternotomy.
