What would be the life expectancy after a double lung transplant if you have cystic fibrosis?

5 to 10 years: 5 year survival after double lung transplant occurs in 80% of people with cf. 10 year survival occurs in 50% of people with CF who have a double lung transplant and therefore is the average life expectancy. Regular medical care to manage episodes of rejection and infection in the transplanted lungs are critical to achieving a good outcome.
