A total of 41 patients received the surgery, in which lymph vessels and lymph nodes in the district III of cervical area were identified using indocyanine fluorescence dye. The afferent lymphatics of the obstructed lymph nodes were connected to the jugular vein to fix the lymphatic blockage under a fluorescent microscope.

The obstruction was successfully resolved through the surgery, and AD progression was attenuated or even reversed in the patients according to improvement in the scales of MMSE, ADL, NPI, CDR-SB, and CGI-EI. The average effectiveness rate was 50% by the CDR-SB score improvement.
