Research findings from the E-AVR registry will be disseminated among the scientific community. They will be presented at international congresses and published in peer reviewed international journals in the fields of cardiac surgery and cardiology. Any formal presentation or publication of data will be considered as a joint publication by the participating physician(s) and will follow the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) for authorship. Data collection, analysis and writing process will be monitored by the Steering Committee of the E-AVR, which is made up of the Principal Investigator and a local Representing Member from each of the participating centres. It is expected that periodical E-AVR Steering Committee meetings will occur, every 6 months for the first 2 years, yearly thereafter up to the end of follow-up. The Members of the Steering Committee will take responsibility for the quality of data through local audit.
