  • Uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, myocardial infarction that occurred within 3 months before enrollment
  • Uncontrollable grand mal epilepsy, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome or other psychiatric disorders that may affect signing of the informed consent by the patient
