Texas Medical Center institutions agreed to pay the multimillion-dollar settlement after three heart surgeons were accused of leaving in the middle of open heart surgeries to perform other operations.

Monday, June 24, 2024 11:24PMThe Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating three Texas Medical Center institutions after a whistleblower came forward accusing three heart surgeons of violating regulations during complicated operations.

The settlement resolved allegations from June 3, 2013, to Dec. 21, 2020. The civil lawsuit alleges three surgeons, 71-year-old Dr. Joseph Coselli, 63-year-old Dr. Joseph Lamelas, and 77-year-old Dr. David Ott, violated Medicare teaching physician and informed consent regulations. The U.S. Attorney's Office said these surgeries typically involve opening a patients' chest and placing the patient on the bypass machine for some portion of time.
