EDITORIAL RULES AND BASIC INFORMATION
‘Acta Angiologica’ hereinafter referred to as ‘AA’ or ‘the Jour-
nal’ is a peer-reviewed official journal of the Polish Angiological
Society and the Polish Society for Vascular Surgery. The Jour-
nal publishes review articles, original experimental and clini-
cal investigations in the field of angiology, case reports, let-
ters, book reviews and editorial comments.
The AA editors endorse the principles embodied in the Hel-
sinki Declaration and expect all research involving humans
to be conducted in accordance with these principles. For
animal experimentation reported in the Journal, it is expected
that investigators will have observed the Interdisciplinary Prin-
ciples and Guidelines for the Use of Animals in Research,
Testing and Education issued by the New York Academy of
Sciences’ Adhoc Committee on Animal Research. All human
and animal research must gain acceptance of the local ethi-
cal committee, which acceptance should be indicated in the
manuscript.

spondence with the Editorial Office.
