From Dr. Kennedy: There is some published evidence that the average survival of a patient that is 71 would be less than that of patients under 40 following lung transplant. However, if the patient is in otherwise good health transplant may still be considered a good option for those with an otherwise low life expectancy or poor quality of life.
