Search Strategy
A database search was conducted using Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Google
Scholar to identify relevant citations in June 2021. The following keywords and subject
headings were used: “exp bicuspid aortic valve” OR “bicuspid aortic valve.mp” OR “BAV.mp” OR “exp aortic valve” OR “aortic valve.mp” AND “sutureless.mp” OR “exp aortic valve replacement” OR “aortic valve replacement.mp” OR “rapid deployment.mp” OR “perceval.mp” OR “intuity.mp” OR “exp aortic valve prosthesis” OR “aortic valve prosthesis.mp”.
Results were restricted to adult populations. There were no date restrictions. Language was
restricted to citations published in English. There were a total of 1052 citations that were identified using this strategy. All citations were uploaded to Covidence for abstract and full text screening, with duplicates being removed. Conference abstracts, oral presentations, and progress reports overlapping with identified peer-reviewed studies were manually excluded by the authors. An overview of the PRISMA study selection is outlined in Figure 1 .
