How long would someone with cystic fibrosis be expected to live after a double lung transplant?

Averages: At one year 90 percent of CF patients are alive after lung transplant; the number falls to around 60% at 5 years and 10-15% at 10 years. Double lung transplant patients tend to do better than single lung transplant recipients (probably because they have more reserve if they develop rejection).

Depends: In average about 70% 5 year survival..

New Drugs : With the development of new immunosuppressive drugs and regimens to manage rejection, doctors are hopeful that life expectancy may improve. The ishlt.Org has some information that may be helpful to you as well.
