Two yrs. ago an intern heard a bruit upon my exam during a Dr. visit. Was sent for a MRI (MRA) and then to a specialist and he said it was nothing to worry about yet. The following in the test results, would like opinions from anyone in the medical field as to a follow-up.

Finding; The angiographic images were performed in the coronal plane. This is optimal for evaluation of the aorta & renal arteries, and less efficacious for evaluation of the celiac artery & SMA. The aorta is of normal caliber. There is slight irregularity in the lumen, suggestive of some degree of atherosclerotic disease, without significant luminal narrowing. There is a single renal arteries bilaterally, without significant stenosis.
There is narrowing or stenosis of the origin of the celiac artery,probably greater than 50%, and hence possibly significant. There is minimal narrowing at the origin of the SMA, not likely to be significant. The IMA is patent, but there may be narrowing at it's origin.

Impression: Mild atherosclerotic irregularity in the aorta, without significant luminal narrowing or aneurysmal change. No stenosis at origin of renal arteries
There is what appears to be a greater than 50% stenosis of the origin of the celiac artery. There is mild to narrowing at the origin of the SMA, not likely to be significant. The IMA is patent, but with mild narrowing, difficult to quantitate, at it's origin.

It means that you have atherosclerosis disease. You should control your cholesterol. Try to take one aspirin junior tablet daily. Control your BP. Take less of animal fat. Take or use olive oil if affordable.
Avoid red meat. Fish and chicken are good for you.
