The type of routinely performed transplant with the highest mortality rate is a heart transplant, if you decide to use "mortality" as a measure of danger. It is possible that there are transplants with a higher mortality rate, but these will be lesser-performed transplants and still slightly experimental, which means there isn't the wealth of experience (unlike heart, liver, lung, kidney transplants) to result in a true reflection of actual mortality rates.
