How Can Acute Aortic Stenosis Be Treated?

My husband will be 60 in a few weeks. He was found to have CHF, Class III, 4 years ago. Now his aortic stenosis has progressed to the point that his doctor doesn't want him to do a stress test. He did one about a year ago and did fine. We are very alarmed about this. He will see his doctor next Thursday, which will be almost 2 weeks since the stress test was canceled. The doctor did an echocardiogram which showed more stenosis. What treatment is available? Thanks for any help.
