Ethanol infusion has been used for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmia. We describe a case of ethanol infusion through the coronary sinus venous network to treat refractory epicardial premature ventricular complexes. The premature ventricular complexes were initially successfully suppressed but recurred after resolution of the myocardial edema. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
