Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does video-assisted thoracic surgery reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation after pulmonary lobectomy?
Answer: Regardless of surgical approach, atrial fibrillation after lobectomy occurred with equal frequency. This supports the theory that autonomic denervation and stress-mediated neurohumoral mechanisms are responsible for the pathogenesis of postoperative atrial fibrillation. Prophylaxis regimens against atrial fibrillation should be the same for either operative approach.
Output (English): no
