Morphology
recanalization = recanalize (semi-transparent) = re + canal + ize + ation
The formation from the verb 'recanalize' to the noun via '-ation' is a standard and recognizable morphological process.
Etymology
Recanalization also uses re- 'again' and canal 'channel', like a small waterway. In medicine it means reopening a blocked channel so blood or fluid can flow 'again', which is why doctors use the term for restoring normal flow.
