do patients get 3rd lung transplant
Only about 55 percent of patients survive five years after the transplant. Those rates are better at Bay Area hospitals, where about two-thirds of patients can expect to survive that long. Nationwide, only a third of patients live 10 years.Itâs unclear what, exactly, goes wrong after the first year.octors donât know how I got it, (non smoker) but Iâm pre transplant right now (not yet put on the list), but they said in about 3 years I may need a bilateral transplant. As you all know the prognosis of this disease isnât good at all; according to the statistics Iâll be dead within 3 â 5 years.
