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 .
