Guthrie collaborated in his work on vascular surgery with French physician Alexis Carrel, who won the 1912 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. A 2001 book by Hugh E. Stephenson, Jr. and Robert S. Kimpton, America's First Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology:The Story of Guthrie and Carrel, argues that the primary credit for this work should have gone to Guthrie rather than Carrel.
