Morphology

vesical + vein

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from 'vesical' (associated with the bladder) combined with 'vein' (a blood vessel), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to a vein of the bladder. This modifier+noun compound follows standard compositional patterns (common in medical terminology and cross-linguistically), making the sense predictable rather than idiomatic.

Etymology

Vesical vein comes from Latin and English: vesical from the Latin word 'vesica' meaning 'bladder' and vein meaning a blood vessel. So it literally means 'bladder vein', which is why it names a vein that drains blood from the bladder.
