Background: Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCABG) has a high incidence of postoperative systemic inflammation response syndrome (SIRS), and perioperative endothelial glycocalyx layer (EGL) disruption can be one of the predisposing factors. We hypothesized that EGL shedding happened earlier in OPCABG which can influence on postoperative SIRS, and sevoflurane might preserve EGL better than propofol.
