Dear Robinnaik,
The question you are asking is in regard to the prevention of instent restenosis. Consuming a low calcium diet has not been shown to decrease the incidence of instent restenosis. However, I would recommend a healthy diet which includes increasing the amount of fruits, vegetables and the consumption of broiled or grilled fish and chicken. You should also consider starting a regular exercise regimen. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your question,
