Survive a difficult situation (4,7)

I believe the answer is:

pull through

(Other definitions for pull through that I've seen before include "Achieve final success" , "Survive" , "Recover from illness or crisis" , "Recover - firearm cleaner" , "Recover after serious illness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
