We report a case of a child with congenital heart disease who presented with critical right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and a history of bilateral femoral vein occlusion. He underwent successful right ventricular outflow tract intervention, culminating in transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation, after recanalization of a completely obstructed femoral vein. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
