2) Congestive heart failure
3) Angina pectoris with subjective symptoms
4) Arrhythmia with subjective symptoms
5) Infection of skin or subcutaneous tissue of bilateral upper arms (e.g.cellulitis)

(2)Patients with any of the following conditions.
1) Median nerve palsy or ulnar nerve palsy
2) Cerebral infarciton or hemiplegia requiring puncture insertion from the paralyzed side
3) Puncture insertion from the shunt limb or the limb from which the shunt is to be created is necessary

(3) Patients with serious complications (interstitial pneumonia,pulmonary fibrosis,uncontrolled hypertension,uncontrolled diabetes,etc.)
(4) Patients with serious infections.
(5) Patients with dementia or other conditions that make it difficult to hold the catheter after insertion
(6) Patients whose bilateral brachial veins (ulnar vein and brachial vein) are anatomically difficult to insert catheters due to narrowness,collapse,thrombus occlusion,proximity to peripheral nerves,etc.
