Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting associated with improved clinical outcomes?
Answer: Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting is safe, and early clinical outcomes are comparable, if not superior in some respects, to OPCAB. Extubation in the OR is feasible, well tolerated, and associated with earlier discharge. Shorter hospital stays may decrease resource use and promote earlier return to activities; however, further research is needed.
Output (English): yes
