I some what agree: A fever up to 101 degrees f is expected for a period of 14 days after tace due to the necrosis (death) of the tumor. If there are other symptoms at this time, ie shaking chills, altered level of consciousness or low blood pressure, call your referring doctor or better still both the reffering and interventionalist performing the procedure.Or after two weeks, .
