Fig 2 Perioperative mortality in patients undergoing minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR) vs conventional aortic valve replacement (CAVR). (M-H = Mantel-Haenszel test.) The solid squares denote the risk ratio and are proportional to the weights used in the meta-analysis. The solid vertical line indicates no effect. The diamond denotes the weighted risk ratio, and the lateral tips of the diamond indicate the associated confidence intervals (CIs). The horizontal lines represent the 95% CIs.

Fig 3 Cumulative perioperative mortality in patients undergoing minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR) vs conventional aortic valve replacement (CAVR). The solid squares denote the cumulative risk ratio and are proportional to the weights used in meta-analysis. The solid vertical line indicates no effect. The diamond denotes the weighted mean risk ratio, and the lateral tips of the diamond indicate the associated confidence intervals (CIs). The horizontal lines represent the 95% CIs.

Fig 6 Pain scores in patients undergoing minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR) vs conventional aortic valve replacement (CAVR). (IV = inverse variance; SD = standard deviation.) The solid squares denote the mean difference and are proportional to the weights used in the meta-analysis. The solid vertical line indicates no effect. The diamond denotes the weighted mean difference, and the lateral tips of the diamond indicate the associated confidence intervals (CIs). The horizontal lines represent the 95% CIs.
