(1) Background: To expand the donor pool, greater donor hearts tended to be used in heart transplantation. However, the data about the feasibility of expanding the donor and recipient weight ratios (DRWRs. All donor and recipient weight ratio (DRWR) in this study or cited from other articles were converted to the DRWR calculated by ((donor weight-recipient weight)/recipient weight) × 100%.) to >30% was still scant in China’s pediatric heart transplantation (HTx). The potential risk increased along with the further expansion of the appropriate range of DRWR to >30% and its upper limit was still in debate. (2) Methods: Seventy-eight pediatric patients (age < 18 years) undergoing HTx between 2015 and 2020 at our center were divided into two groups based on the DRWR (>30% and ≤30%). Variables were summarized and analyzed via univariate analyses and multivariate analyses. A Kaplan-Meier methodology was used to calculate survival and conditional survival. (3) Results: No significant difference was found in one-year, three-year or five-year survival between the two groups. (4) Conclusions: The expansion of DRWR to >30% was acceptable for China’s pediatric HTx. Notably, continuously liberalizing of the upper DRWR boundary to more than 200% could be used as a stop-loss option but should be applied with caution.
