Fetal echocardiography and special perinatal care with transplacental maternal pharmacotherapy in selected cases and an early neonatal aortic balloon valvuloplasty have shown improvement in survival rate. The most dangerous for the newborn with AS was the first week of postnatal life. It is vital to refer the fetuses with AS to the reference centers which offer the possibility of invasive cardiac intervention on the first day after birth, and it might be an optimal solution.
