title: Bail out use of the Gore Excluder following pulmonary conduit rupture during transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement.
abstract: This report describes the use of the Gore Excluder self-expanding stent to successfully exclude a contained right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit rupture during transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (tPVR). This stent was designed for percutaneous abdominal aortic aneurysm exclusion; however, its use in this setting allowed progression to tPVR following conduit rupture without the need for emergent surgery.
