Kidney and Liver. It's not that they're the most common operations, it's that the risk of death is lower. Heart transplants happen more than you'd think, but if it goes wrong you usually die. Whereas if a kidney transplant goes wrong, you can go back to dialysis until you try again. And you can also survive a few days with a failed liver, which gives you time to find another transplant. However you cannot survive a few days with a heart that doesn't work.
