Survival rates for double lung transplants vary based on several factors, including the patient's age, underlying health conditions, and the quality of the transplant center. Generally, the one-year survival rate is around 85-90%, while the five-year survival rate is approximately 50-60%. Advances in surgical techniques and post-operative care have contributed to improving these outcomes. However, individual results may vary significantly, so it's essential for patients to discuss their specific situation with their healthcare team.

If someone is currently living with a lung disease can you give them one of your lungs and would they survive?
In Australia; A lung transplant is the replacement of one or both diseased lungs with healthy lungs from a human donor. Lung transplants may be recommended as last resort treatment for patients with lung failure diseases such as cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, COPD or pulmonary hypertension. Lung transplants require lungs to be donated by someone who is declared brain-dead but who remains on life support.
How has lung transplant improved since thirty years ago?
Lung transplant procedures have significantly improved over the past thirty years due to advancements in surgical techniques, better postoperative care, and enhanced immunosuppressive therapies that reduce organ rejection. The introduction of more effective donor matching protocols and improved organ preservation methods has also increased the success rates of transplants. Furthermore, ongoing research into lung preservation and regenerative medicine continues to enhance outcomes for patients, leading to longer survival rates and better quality of life post-transplant. Overall, these advancements have transformed lung transplantation into a more viable option for patients with end-stage lung disease.
