7. Diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome at the moment of inclusion
8. Panel-reactive antibodies (PRA) score \> 50%
9. Known allergies to any of the components of the perfusate
10. Preexisting vascular disease that represents an extraordinary technical difficulty for the transplantation in the opinion of the investigator
11. Presence of clinically relevant donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies
12. ABO incompatibility
