Hello,
Lifestyle changes are advised after angioplasty and stenting and regular exercise is very important.
You can certainly start walking on your treadmill as it will keep your heart healthy by improving the blood flow and will reduce risk of heart attack.
So, yes start walking on treadmill. Please consult your doctor about the speed and duration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
