Post op restrictions: Check with your surgeon, who will know best your overall health and can best advice you on this detail. Absent any problems, many carotid patients are back to driving and full activity by 7 to 10 days.

Back to full speed: That would be an answer that would require individualization. It could be a different number of days for different patients.
