Hi,
The treatment of aortic stenosis with enlargement of aorta is surgical. They should replace valve. But the surgery is done when only in specific stage of disease. Before that the patient need only follow-up.
I don't know your son's data, so I can't advise what to do. Anyway your doctor should talk with you about all possible outcomes and treatment options.
Hope I could help you
Wishing your son a good health
