Since 2007, national Lung Transplant Survival Rates have remained stable, while short-term survival rates of 30 days and one year have steadily improved. For patients with advanced lung disease, a lung transplant can improve their prognosis. Those who undergo a successful lung transplant operation often survive three years or more after surgery. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at the National Institutes of Health, more than half of single-lung-transplant patients survive at least five years after surgery.
