I didn’t find a five-year number, but pediatric (under age 18) survival at three years is 80 percent.

However, that statistic really doesn't give much insight.

It's logical that an otherwise healthy 16 or 17 year old who receives an adult heart from perfectly healthy person who dies in a car crash is going to fare better than a frail infant who receives a heart from another frail infant.
