Ans: A
Feedback: Orthotropic transplantation is the most common cardiac transplantation procedure. The recipient's heart is removed, and the donor heart is implanted at the vena cava and pulmonary veins. Some surgeons still prefer to remove the recipient's heart, leaving a portion of the recipient's atria (with the vena cava and pulmonary veins) in place.
