Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $91,643 of the $107,421 with a category attached, or 85.3%. It is spread thinly across 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.6%. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $63,870 and has fallen 99.8% since, to $155 in 2025. Among vascular surgery clinicians in VA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 77 payments — averaging $1395.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
