Unpredictable: If you are following post operative rehab protocol- diet,exercise,stress reduction & medications survival rate will be long.But depends upon your surgery,status of your heart & other organs. Your cardiologist who is following you will be able to assess you better & predict.

STS risk calculator: If you are asking the mortality rate of having the actual surgery, I would refer you to http://riskcalc.sts.org/stswebriskcalc/calculate where you can plug in your own risk factors and it gives you a percentage.
