Mayo Clinic's outcomes with lung transplantation compare favorably with nationally reported survival. The results of a transplant program can be measured in many ways. The most common comparative numbers include:
Mayo Clinic has performed 139 lung transplants since the program began in 1990, with 14 heart-lung transplants. The program has performed 9 transplants to date in 2009.
