    Objective: To systematically analyze the available evidence from studies on the efficacy of percutaneous aspiration versus tube drainage for the treatment of patients with pneumothorax. Materials and methods: A systematic review of 11 scientific articles on the efficacy of percutaneous aspiration versus tube drainage for the treatment of patients with pneumothorax was conducted in the following databases: Cochrane, Lilacs, Scielo, Medline, and PubMed; all of them were analyzed according to the GRADE scale to determine their strength and quality of evidence. Results: Of the 11 articles reviewed, 72% (8/11) correspond to systematic reviews and meta-analyses, while 38% (3/11) correspond to prospective studies. Of the 11 articles systematically reviewed, 80% (9/11) demonstrate the efficacy of percutaneous aspiration versus tube drainage for the treatment of patients with pneumothorax. Conclusions: Of the 11 articles reviewed, 80% (9/11) demonstrate the efficacy of percutaneous aspiration vs. tube drainage for the treatment of patients with pneumothorax.
