Despite medical improvements, the lung transplant survival rates have only improved by about 5% over the last decade. The 5 year survival rate after a lung transplant in the United States is 55%. Only 1 in 3 lung transplant recipients will make it to their 10 year post-surgery anniversary. 90% of those who pass away from complications from their lung transplant do so because of acute cellular rejections. 45% of the lungs that are donated from deceased individuals come from the 18-34 age demographic. 39,718 transplants were performed in 2019. - https://healthresearchfunding.org/43-incredible-lung-transplant-survival-rate-statistics/
Interesting and sobering data...
In this case we have tissue being transplanted into existing lungs. It will be interesting to see if that makes a difference in survival rates, if this becomes more of a practice in the future.
