Abstract

Background:

A meta-analysis study to assess the prevalence of wound infection (WI) following right anterolateral thoracotomy (RAT) and median sternotomy (MS) for resection of benign atrial masses (BAM) that induce heart failure, arrhythmia, or thromboembolic events.

Methods:

A comprehensive literature examination till February 2023 was implemented and 296 linked studies were appraised. The 4 picked studies contained 206 subjects with BAM that induce heart failure, arrhythmia, or thromboembolic events in the picked studies' baseline, 116 of them were using RAT, and 90 were using MS. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the consequence of the prevalence of WI following RAT and MS for resection of BAM that induces heart failure, arrhythmia, or thromboembolic events by the dichotomous and continuous styles and a fixed or random model.

Results:

No significant difference was observed between RAT and MS in postoperative surgical site WI (OR, 0.18; 95% CI, 0.02-1.77, p=0.14) with no heterogeneity (I2 = 0%) in subjects with BAM that induce heart failure, arrhythmia, or thromboembolic events.

Conclusions:

No significant difference was observed between RAT and MS in postoperative surgical site WI in subjects with BAM that induce heart failure, arrhythmia, or thromboembolic events though precautions should be taken when commerce with the consequences since a low number of selected studies was picked for comparisons in this meta-analysis and all the selected studies were with low sample size.
