Comparison of additional minocycline versus iodopovidone pleurodesis during video-assisted thoracoscopic bleb resection for primary spontaneous pneumothorax: a propensity score-matched analysis.
Conclusions: This study confirmed the safety of both minocycline and iodopovidone for additional pleurodesis. However, we carefully recommend minocycline over iodopovidone for pleurodesis because of faster postoperative recovery.
