Hi,
The management of aortic stenosis depends on it's severity. In case it is not severe no treatment is needed, in such patients only follow up is advised and prevention of bacterial infections.
In case aortic stenosis is severe, surgery is the choice of the treatment.
Hope I could help you
Wishing your son a good health
In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
