What is the average life expectancy for heart-transplant patients who are 3 year old children?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Average - teen years: Overall the survival rate of heart transplants in children is nearly 90 percent after one year and is approaching 70 percent after ten years. Survival of more than 20 years has been reported. A number of children require an additional transplant procedure, usually because of graft vasculopathy.
