Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation has gradually become the first line strategy for re‐intervention for right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction during long‐term follow‐up after congenital cardiac surgery in many centers. We describe a case of a patient with double outlet right ventricle (Fallot's type) with a doubly committed subarterial ventricular septal defect, where the unique anatomy precluded percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
