A tiny mid muscular VSD should not cause him any difficulties, if that is the only cardiac abnormality. He should also either have an electrocardiogram (ECG) that shows no abnormality to suggest pulmonary hypertension, or the assessment of a cardiologist to confirm that is not present.  With normal lung artery pressure, life expectancy should not be affected by a tiny VSD.
