Background We conducted a metaanalysis comparing early and midterm cardiovascular adverse events associated with minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass graft surgery (MIDCABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with a focus on drug-eluting stents (DES). Methods A systematic lite...
