Myocarditis Treatment in Prof. Dr. İbrahim Cansaran Tanıdır – Pediatric Cardiology

About the clinic

Myocarditis treatment for children is provided by Prof. Dr. İbrahim Cansaran Tanıdır at his practice in Istanbul, Turkey. Prof. Dr. Tanıdır brings over 15 years of clinical experience and has performed 10,000+ pediatric cardiac procedures. The clinic focuses on advanced pediatric interventional cardiology and structural heart disease.

Advanced diagnostics for myocarditis

Accurate diagnosis is the first step in managing heart muscle inflammation. The clinic uses a specific set of tests to assess heart damage and function. Patients typically undergo the following evaluations:

Troponin and BNP tests. Blood markers that show heart muscle injury and stress levels.
Echocardiography. Ultrasound imaging to check the heart's pumping power and valve function.
Cardiac MRI. A detailed scan to visualize inflammation and scarring in the heart tissue.
Electrocardiography (ECG). Monitoring to detect rhythm disorders or signs of strain.
Viral PCR tests. Tests to identify specific viruses that may have triggered the inflammation.
CRP and sedimentation. Tests that measure general inflammation levels in the body.

Treatment methods and specialized care

Every child with suspected myocarditis stays in the hospital for close monitoring. This helps medical staff respond immediately if rhythm problems occur. Prof. Dr. Tanıdır uses pharmacological and mechanical support depending on the severity of the case.

Medication therapy. This includes diuretics to remove excess fluid and ACE inhibitors to lower heart workload.
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). High-dose antibody therapy that stops the body's immune system from attacking the heart.
Corticosteroids. These medications help suppress inflammation, especially in cases related to MIS-C.
ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation). An artificial heart-lung machine used in severe cases to let the heart muscle rest and heal.
Inotropic drugs. Intravenous medications that help the heart pump more effectively during acute stages.

Long-term monitoring and recovery

Recovery times vary, and some medication courses last for several weeks. After leaving the hospital, children require frequent check-ups during the first year. Prof. Dr. Tanıdır monitors heart size and rhythm to detect any late complications. Annual check-ups usually follow this initial period to track long-term heart health. You can request a consultation for pediatric cardiac care through the Bookimed platform.

Prof. Dr. İbrahim Cansaran Tanıdır – Pediatric Cardiology: more details about the clinic

Turkey, Istanbul

Prof. Dr. İbrahim Cansaran Tanıdır – Pediatric Cardiology is a specialized practice in Istanbul's Ataşehir district. The clinic focuses entirely on pediatric cardiology and interventional pediatric cardiology. It treats congenital heart diseases in children of all ages without surgery.

Key Facts and Academic Achievements

Prof. Dr. İbrahim Cansaran Tanıdır leads the clinic. He has nearly 20 years of clinical and academic experience in pediatric heart care. He has personally performed over 10,000 pediatric cardiac catheterization procedures in Turkey and abroad. His academic work includes 110 SCI/SCIE publications and over 1,440 scientific citations.

The medical team has earned several national awards for clinical excellence. These include the Best Echocardiographic Imaging Presentation award and the Second Best Intervention Presentation award. Both honors came from the National Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery Congress. The team also won the Best Oral Presentation award for a school-based electrocardiographic screening program.

International humanitarian work shapes much of the clinic's mission. The team has performed over 500 catheterization procedures across several regions:

Africa (Mali, Kenya, Uganda, and Libya)
Asia (Bangladesh, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan)
Kosovo

This global experience strengthens the clinic's ability to treat diverse and complex structural heart conditions.

Specialties and Interventional Procedures

The clinic specializes in interventional pediatric cardiology. This field uses thin, flexible tubes called catheters to treat heart defects through blood vessels. Because doctors don't open the chest, recovery time drops significantly. The practice treats patients from fetal stages through adolescence.

Congenital Heart Defect Closures

Specialists close holes in the heart using catheter-based methods instead of major surgery. They place special memory-metal devices that resemble small umbrellas or plugs. These devices permanently seal the defects. The clinic reports significant experience in these closures:

2,000+ transcatheter ASD (atrial septal defect) closures
1,000+ PDA (patent ductus arteriosus) closures
250+ VSD (ventricular septal defect) closures

Echocardiography and angiography guide device placement during the procedure. Most children return to normal activities after about six months of healing.

Valve and Vascular Interventions

When heart valves are blocked, the clinic uses balloon valvuloplasty. A deflated balloon travels to the narrowed valve and inflates to widen the opening. This is the primary treatment for pulmonary valve stenosis. The team has performed over 500 balloon valvuloplasty procedures. They also place stents for aortic coarctation and other vascular blockages.

Pediatric Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

The clinic treats heart rhythm disorders using catheter ablation. A mapping system identifies abnormal electrical pathways in the heart. Controlled heat then eliminates the problem tissue. This procedure often removes the need for lifelong heart medication in children.

Emergency Neonatal Care

For newborns with critical cyanotic (blue baby) conditions, the clinic performs the Rashkind procedure. This balloon atrial septostomy creates a small opening between heart chambers. Oxygen-rich blood can then mix with oxygen-poor blood. Doctors perform this life-saving intervention urgently in the angiography laboratory.

Equipment and Technologies

The clinic uses advanced imaging to ensure accuracy and safety. The team emphasizes low-radiation protocols for pediatric patients. They have completed over 200 fluoroscopy-free or low-radiation catheterization procedures. This minimizes a child's lifetime exposure to medical radiation.

Diagnostic tools available at the practice include:

Echocardiography (heart ultrasound)
Fetal cardiac MRI and standard heart MRI
CT coronary angiography
Rhythm Holter monitoring and exercise tests
Three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping for arrhythmias

These tools allow precise evaluation of heart murmurs, syncope, and complex structural defects.

Services for International Patients

The clinic offers consultations in Turkish, English, Russian, Arabic, and German. Long-term follow-up is central to its care model. Specialists monitor heart rhythm, valve function, and device compatibility at regular intervals as the child grows.

After our doctor Cansaran carefully assessed the examinations, he explained everything to us one by one. He clearly told us which findings were important, which ones we shouldn’t be worried about, and how the follow-up process would work. When it comes to my dear son-in-law, you can’t help but feel very anxious. Doctor Cansaran gave us confidence with both his knowledge and his calm approach. He answered all of our questions patiently. We’re truly lucky that we were able to reach him.

Due to our son’s congenital heart condition, we have been undergoing regular doctor check-ups for a long time. During this process, we received different opinions, so our minds were very confused. After we spoke with our doctor, İbrahim Cansaran, I can say that for the first time the whole process became truly clear for us.
