Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (54.9%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 86.1% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $94,577 and has fallen 88.8% since, to $10,561 in 2025. Among thoracic surgery (cardiothoracic vascular surgery) clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 512 payments — averaging $541.31 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
