title: Weglowski and what might have been.
abstract: Ramuald Weglowski, whose work has remained practically unknown, made most significant contributions to vascular surgery during World War I and in the years that followed. These remarkably modern experiences and concepts are described. The possible influence upon the development of vascular surgery, an awareness of them and an understanding of their worth is discussed.
