title: Coronary artery bypass surgery in a patient with analbuminemia.
abstract: Congenital analbuminemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the absence of serum albumin, or by its presence in very low concentrations. Up to now, only 43 cases have been reported. There is little information about analbuminemia, and no operation on an analbuminemic patient has been reported. This, we believe, is the 1st report of an operation on an analbuminemic patient for coronary artery disease in which the perioperative experience is presented.
