  • Renal dysfunction with the value of serum creatinine over 1.5-fold of normal value.
  • Severe cardiac dysfunction on echocardiogram or the grade of heart function over Ⅲ grade.
  • History of prior stroke with mRS ≥2.
  • Complicated with atrial fibrillation.
  • Severe stroke as assessed by appropriate imaging techniques (eg. massive cerebral infarction including more than one lobe of brain or over 1/3 of blood-supply area of middle cerebral artery).
  • Prior disable patients.
