Is nutrition and/or exercise related with re-stenosis?

First, excuse me if I write funny words, english is not my natural lanquage. I have been thinking about re-stenosis after PTA, in jugular veins. There are so many patients with re-stenosis and I believe there are many factors related with problem. Its just my observation with few operated.. but for me it seems that trend is quite positive for those who exercise and eat healthy way. Of course my thoughts might be totally wrong, but why not?
There are some studies which are quite near this subject. Re-stenosis after angioplasty but in different area, was affected with antioxidants:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14727962
"The powerful antioxidant probucol has been shown to prevent coronary restenosis after balloon angioplasty in the Multivitamins and Probucol (MVP) trial and other clinical studies."
Exercise: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19853690
"Regular high-intensity interval exercise training was associated with a significant reduction in late luminal loss in the stented coronary segment. This effect was associated with increased aerobic capacity, improved endothelium function, and attenuated inflammation"
In my wife's case, it seems that her jugular veins is still open, after 3 years - at least symptoms have been away. Could it be possible that healthy life style.. nutrition and hard exercise might be related factors?
