Botulinum Toxin Injection for Preventing Secondary Atrial Fibrillation in Patient With Supra-ventricular Tachyarrythmias

The investigators have conducted a prospective, double-blind, randomized study to assess the comparative safety and efficacy of two different ablation strategies, RFA versus RFA plus botulinum toxin injection, in patients with supra-ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Results were assessed with the use of an implanted monitoring device (IMD).
