âWe studied survival rates beyond 15 years for pediatric heart transplant patients to learn more about quality of life and factors that led to improved survival.â. More than half (54.3% or 183/337) of the pediatric transplant patients in the study group survived at least 15 years past surgery. The researchers found that of those 15-year survivors, 82.5% (151) were currently alive and showed good heart function at most recent follow-up. Their average ejection fraction was 62%, meaning that 62% of the blood in the left ventricle was pushed out with each heartbeat.
