We report a 17‐year‐old boy with double‐outlet right ventricle, atrioventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, and persistent left superior vena cava who developed a protein‐losing enteropathy, which was cured by coil embolization of the left azygos vein, thereby interrupting the vein‐to‐vein shunt.
