   1. Significant past clinical evidence or echocardiography of right heart failure.
   2. History of right heart catheterization showed that cardiac index ≤ 2 l/min/m2.
   3. Pulmonary hypertension, which needs to use EPoprostenol/ Treprostinil for parenteral treatment .

9. Cardiovascular diseases:

   1. Six weeks in severe hypertension, and out of control after treatment(≥160/100mmHg).
   2. Myocardial infarction within six months.

10. More than 3 digital fingertip ulcers or a history of severe digital necrosis requiring hospitalization or severe other ulcers.

11. Bleeding risk, including the following criterias:

    a. Predisposition to bleeding. b.Subjects need to the following treatments: i.Fibrinolysis, full-dose anticoagulation therapy(such as vitamin K antagonists, direct thrombin inhibitor, heparin, Hirudin ).

    ii. High dose antiplatelet therapy[Note: not prohibited to maintain equipment needed indwelling venous pathway prophylactic low dose of heparin or heparin fluid (e.g. enoxaparin, daily 4000 I.U. s.c.) and the prevention of the use of antiplatelet therapy (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid, until 325 mg/d, or other antiplatelet dose of 75 mg/d the same dose of clopidogrel, or treatment)].

Active gastrointestinal bleeding or gastrointestinal ulcer. iii. major trauma or major surgery (researchers determined). e.coagulation parameters:international normalised ratio (INR) >2, prolongation of prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) by >1.5 x ULN)

12. May interfere with detection procedures (such as interrupt oxygen intolerance in pulmonary function tests) or based on the researchers estimate, may affect the test to participate in or participate in the test may put patients at risk of disease or other complications (such as caused by SSc severe gastrointestinal symptoms).

13. Researchers determined that life expectancy was due to other diseases (non SSc) for a period of up to 2.5 years.
