My wife died from the effects of Mivacron during minor surgery to have a pin removed from her arm. The Mivacron caused paralysis for several hours after the surgery. A few days later she developed an unknown hepatitus. Then her liver failed and a few days later (on Christmas 2005) she was brain dead. The Dr.'s took her off life support on New Years Eve.

The death certificate lists the causes of death as
1. Acute Liver Failure
2. Hepatic Encephalopathy
3. Probable Reaction To Anesthetic Agent (Mivacron)

Still haven't got a complete pathology report. Pathologist indicates cause of death as "chronic liver failure".

She was 60 years old, in very good health. non-smoker and didn't use alcohol.

If anyone has had anything similiar happen please email me

It was used on my wife during a minor surgical procedure at an outpatient surgical clinic attached to a hospital. She had broken her arm and was having a pin removed from the arm. The orthopedic surgeon said they were going to give her a "light" anesthesia and the surgery would take 15 minutes and I could "take her home in an hour". After the surgery she was completely paralyzed for 3 hours. The nurses said she had a "negative reaction to MIVACRON". Several hours later the clinic released her. After 2 days at home she became very jaundiced. We took her back to the hospital where she was admitted to the ICU. She had an unknown hepatitus. Her liver failed and a few days later she was brain dead. She died on New Years Eve 2005. The Death Certificate lists the cause of death as liver failure and probable toxic reaction to anesthesia. The pathologist hasn't completed his report and his bottom line is my wife died from chronic liver failure. It is noted she was only 60 years old and in very good health. If anyone has had a similar or related experience please email me.
