Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (42.1%), education and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 11 manufacturers reported payments, led by Intuitive Surgical at 48.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $69,768 and has fallen 94.4% since, to $3,902 in 2025. Among thoracic surgery (cardiothoracic vascular surgery) clinicians in MI 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 279 payments — averaging $744.74 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
