Rxjs condition error flow

I'm essentially creating a transaction. A simplification would be described as follows:

1) Make a promise call. 2) If error and error.code === "ConditionalCheckFailedException", ignore the error and continue the stream with no changes. 3) If error, stop stream.

The following give me 1 and 3. I would like to continue on with the stream if I have a certain exception. Is that possible? ...

At the moment, I have:

//... stream that works to this point
.concatMap((item) => {
    const insertions = Rx.Observable.fromPromise(AwsCall(item))
        .catch(e => {
            if (e.code === "ConditionalCheckFailedException") {
                return item
            } else {
                throw e;
            }
        });
    return insertions.map(() => item);
})
.concat // ... much the same

So catch wants a function which delivers a new Observable.

Instead, use this: 

//... stream that works to this point
.concatMap((item) => {
  const insertions = Rx.Observable.fromPromise(AwsCall(item))
    .catch(e => e.code === "ConditionalCheckFailedException"
      ? Rx.Observable.of(item)
      : Rx.Observable.throw(e)
    )
    /* depending on what AwsCall returns this might not be necessary: */
    .map(_ => item)
  return insertions;
})
.concat // ... much the same
