A concept of the surgical treatment of acute portal vein obstruction is presented: thrombectomy, small bowel resection and placing of a portal vein catheter for local application of heparin, allowing also angiographic control. Two cases are reported. With early diagnosis and surgical therapy acute portal vein obstruction seems to have a favorable prognosis.
