Bail out use of the gore excluder following pulmonary conduit rupture during transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement

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. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
