TUESDAY, Jan. 28, 2014 (HealthDay News) — More than half of babies and children who receive heart transplants are surviving many years, say the authors of a new study.

Pediatric heart transplant patients are living 15 years and longer with good heart function, the scientists said. They are scheduled to present their findings Tuesday at the annual meeting of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, held in Orlando, Fla.
