Abstract: A 53-year-old male was delivered to Almazov National Medical Research Centre from the local emergency hospital in a 36 hours after he shot himself in the chest by two crossbow arrows. We diagnosed a multiple penetrating injury of a chest. On initial examination the patient has a clear conscious, hemodynamics was stable without inotropic and vasopressor support. Based on chest multispiral computed tomography performed earlier in the city hospital, the multiple injuries of the heart chambers, namely 12 perforations in the heart and the aorta were confirmed.
