Morphology
The noun 'extravasation' denotes the abnormal escape or leakage of fluids from vessels, so when combined with 'blood' the phrase straightforwardly means leakage of blood into surrounding tissues. Although medical in register, the meaning is fully compositional and derivable by a learner who knows both constituent words, making it transparent.
Etymology
Blood extravasation paints a simple picture: blood is 'leaking out' from a small blood vessel and extravasation means 'flowing out', so it is like red liquid from a cracked pipe pooling under the skin to make a bruise. That's why blood extravasation means blood has leaked and collected outside the vessel.
