Limited arterial vascular access precluded necessary transcatheter intervention in a 22-year-old woman with repaired interrupted aortic arch type B. Alternative transcaval vascular access enabled percutaneous therapy. This practice evolution is likely to benefit the growing numbers of adults with congenital heart disease. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
