Dick Cheney just got a heart transplant

Apparently the surgery was today.  He was on the donor list 20 months.  I checked Wikipedia to see what the prognosis is:

The prognosis for heart transplant patients following the orthotopic procedure has increased over the past 20 years, and as of June 5, 2009, the survival rates were:[8]

1 year : 88.0% (males), 86.2% (females)
3 years: 79.3% (males), 77.2% (females)
5 years: 73.1% (males), 69.0% (females)
The Mayo Clinic concurs.
