Heart-lung transplantation survival rate

The first combined heart-lung transplant was performed in 1981 at Stanford University. Combined heart-lung donors need to satisfy both the requirements already described separately. Combined heart-lung transplant is recommended in patients with congenital problems affecting these organs, pulmonary hypertension and/or cystic fibrosis. The recipients for the combined transplant are recommended to be less than 55 years old. Survival rates are 79, 66, and 54% at 1 month, 1 year and 3 years, respectively, after transplantation.
