How long is the recovery period for carotid end-arterectomies?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Brief: Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy typically spend 2-3 days in the hospital. Wound healing usually takes place over 2 weeks. Consult your surgeon for specifics.

Usually very short: If you had no stroke prior to the surgery and immediately after the surgery, we expect the recovery to be very smooth and brief.
