Dr. Guzman’s clinical and research interests focus on vascular diseases in diabetic patients, particularly lower extremity ischemia and arterial calcification. He has contributed extensively to outcomes research in peripheral arterial disease, amputation risk, and endovascular interventions. His work integrates clinical data with predictive modeling to improve patient safety and surgical outcomes.
His recent publications emphasize risk prediction in endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, smoking cessation impact on neurologic and limb outcomes, and antithrombotic strategies in peripheral interventions. These studies reflect a strong trend toward evidence-based improvements in vascular care, with emphasis on high-risk populations such as the elderly and diabetic patients.
Notable scientific recognition includes:
- 2024 Dr. Walter E. Longo MD Award
