The invention relates to model preparation, particularly to a rabbit portal vein thrombosis model which establishes a rabbit portal vein thrombosis model by a portal vein ligation catheterization method. The experimental animal adopts a New Zealand white rabbit; the experimental process comprises the steps of preoperative preparation: a preoperative experimental rabbit fasts all night and freely drinks water; anaesthetization; operation method: make the preoperative preparations including shaving feathers at the operating area after anaesthetization, disinfection and the like, enter the belly layer by layer, separate a portal vein, insert a 2Fr internal jugular vein tube by a catheterization method, ligate the portal vein using the tube as the inner support, suture and fix, lead to outside of body, and then conducting firm fixing. The model of the invention causes partial blood stasis, annular oppressed damage of blood vessel endothelium by ligating the portal vein, simultaneously carries out tube stimulation, starts intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation processes, increases the incidence of thromboembolism, and provides passages for the later partially collecting blood specimen, dynamic venogram, partial injection and the like; the first PVT occurrence time is about 30 min after the model is found via the portal vein radiography, and the model formation rate is higher than 75%.
