que inunda (el tejido) circundante
I don't think the use of "inundar" is too literal. I would avoid using "inundando" though... would go for "que inunda" instead.

inundando con sangre los tejidos vecinos
inundando es un término médico legítimo, aunque no habitual, pero es lo que dice tu original; cuando se rompe una arteria, los tejidos ni se bañan, ni se duchan, ni se impregnan, ni se ahogan, ni se mojan, ni se humedecen con sangre: se inundan
