[en] Background: Diabetes has a protective effect on abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs); however, there are contrasting reports on the impact of diabetes on endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) outcomes, endoleaks (ELs) being the major negative outcome. The present study characterizes ELs and their outcomes in AAA patients, diabetic or not. Methods: This single-center, retrospective, comparative study was carried out on 324 AAA patients who underwent elective EVARs between 2007 and 2016 at the University Hospital of Liège (Belgium). The primary endpoint was the incidence and effect of ELs on the evolution of the aneurysmal sac; the secondary endpoints were surgical reintervention and mortality rate. Diabetic and non-diabetic patients were compared with respect to various risk factors by logistic regression, while a Cox regression was used to analyze survival. Results: In AAA patients meeting the inclusion criteria (n = 248), 23% were diabetic. EL incidence was comparable (p = 0.74) in diabetic (38.7%) vs. non-diabetic (43.9%) patients. EL risk factors were age (HR = 1.04, p = 0.014) and fibrate intake (HR = 3.12, p = 0.043). A significant association was observed between ELs and aneurysm sac enlargement (p < 0.001), regardless of group (p = 0.46). Aneurysm sac regression per month for non-diabetic patients was −0.24 ± 0.013, while for diabetics it was −0.18 ± 0.027 (p = 0.059). Dyslipidemia (HR = 3.01, p = 0.0060) and sulfonylureas (HR = 8.43, p = 0.043) were associated with shorter EL duration, while diabetes (HR = 0.080, p = 0.038) and beta blockers (HR = 0.46, p = 0.036) were associated with longer EL duration. The likelihood of reoperation decreased with more recent surgery (OR = 0.90, p = 0.040), regardless of diabetic status. All-cause mortality was higher for the non-diabetic group (45.5% vs. 26.3%, p = 0.0096). Conclusions: Endoleak occurrence is a known risk factor for sac expansion. In diabetic patients, endoleaks lasted longer, and regression of the aneurysm sac tended to be slower. The number and type of reintervention was not related to the diabetic status of AAA patients, but overall survival was higher in patients with diabetes.
