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
