πρόσθετος ιστός (δ. 12 cm) που **περιβρογχίζει** κοιλιακή αορτή, άνω μεσεντέριο και κάτω κοίλη φλέβα

From a case report of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I have an idea what this is describing, but can anyone tell me the "correct" technical term in English? (Even Babiniotis doesn't have this verb.)

Explanation:
in the sense of "umschließen" die Vorsilbe "περι" lässt auf jeden Fall darauf schließen, dass es etwas wie umgeben, umhüllen, odgl. bedeutet. im Englischen würde ich hier "encase" verwenden
