What would you say the recovery time for a T-bar would be? Sometimes we need to perform other procedures, open surgical procedures. So a bypass operation in the neck allows us to put the extent graft further around the aortic arch. That means that sometimes patients can spend two days in hospital. Certainly in my practice that's the case. often my patients will go home the next day after surgery if we can use percutaneous access rather than making a cut into the groin which means that we don't actually have to make any open incisions at all. Often patients feel fine, they can feel a little bit tired afterwards for maybe six weeks or so sometimes a little bit of aching in the groin but generally speaking people are back to normal activity and within two months of the procedure.
