ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA — Late last month an unidentified man in Russia tried to end his life via two self-inflicted crossbow arrow wounds to his chest and heart. <br /> <br />One arrow struck his left ventricle, left atrium and mitral valve, while the other hit his abdominal aorta, reported the Daily Mail. <br /> <br />He was taken to GBUZ Elizabethan hospital, but they didn’t have the resources to help him, so he was taken to the Federal Almazov North-West Medical Research Center. There, deft-handed surgeons cut out his heart and removed the arrows. Next, they put his heart back and repaired the damage by using the man’s own tissue. <br /> <br />His condition was last reported as stable but serious.
