Hi, I am Chat Doctor.  The heart has total 4 chambers. Ventricle is the 2 bigger ones.a hole between the 2 is called VSD (ventricular septal defect)because of this hole,much of blood is going from left ventricle to right ventricle and from there to pulmonary artery to lungs. Having a pulmonary hypertension means pressure in pulmonary artery is more than it should be. it's similar to hypertension in which we have more pressure in aorta. Your husband should get a consultation with a pediatric Cardiologist and go ahead with percutaneous operation if he suggests so. Hope this explanation helps and do write down to me if you need any other help.
