Weights of carotid endarterectomy specimens in patients undergoing unilateral procedures.
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.
