The investigators have conducted a prospective, double-blind, randomized study to assess the
comparative safety and efficacy of two different ablation strategies, PVI plus linear
lesions (LL) plus botulinum toxin injection versus PVI plus linear lesions (LL), in patients
with persistent or longstanding persistent AF. Results were assessed with the use of an
implanted monitoring device (IMD).
