Abstract:
Analysis of 273 unilateral carotid endarterectomy specimens showed those in the men to be larger than those in the women (1.4 vs 0.96 g). A large weight variation was found. The smallest specimen weighed 0.38 g, and the largest weighed 4.2 g, a 10-fold difference; the mean weight was 1.25 g.
