Dexmedetomidine, Del-Nido cardioplegia and myocardial protection

Tracheobronchial calcification is a benign radiological finding seen in middle-aged and elderly females, usually of no clinical significance. We report a female with massive tracheobronchial calcification that is found incidentally after cardiac surgery.
