What are the chances of dying during heart transplant?

It depends: It depends on how sick the patient is, how good the transplant program/ surgeon is. The national average for one year survival stands at 89%, so 11% of patients will die within the first year. You can check individual hospital data on http://www.Srtr.Org/.

Very low: The chance of mortality during the procedure is very low. Nearly 90% of hearts are functioning at one year. There are some higher risk categories, but you should discuss this with your transplant team.
