These settings require decisions that extend beyond immediate procedural success to encompass coronary access, reintervention, valve durability, and associated aortopathy. This review synthesizes current evidence and proposes an anatomy-driven framework integrating imaging, device selection, procedural planning, and lifetime management. Methods: A structured narrative review was conducted in accordance with the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA) criteria. PubMed\/MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from 1 January 2010 to 31 March 2026 for studies addressing TAVI in BAV stenosis, pure native AR, and small aortic annulus anatomy. Randomized trials, meta-analyses, multicenter registries, pivotal device studies, and guideline or consensus documents were prioritized. After screening 2663 records and assessing 330 full-text reports, 101 records were retained for qualitative synthesis. Evidence was appraised by anatomical substrate, imaging phenotype, device strategy, procedural hazards, and implications for lifetime management. Results: In BAV stenosis, contemporary registry and prospective cohort data support high device success and acceptable early and mid-term outcomes in carefully selected patients; however, calcified raphe, bulky asymmetric leaflet or left ventricular outflow tract calcification, annular eccentricity, and concomitant aortopathy identify higher-risk phenotypes that often favor surgery. Randomized evidence in younger low-risk BAV patients remains limited and exploratory, with the NOTION-2 trial showing a numerically higher 3-year composite event rate after TAVI than surgical aortic valve replacement (20.4% vs. 7.8%; hazard ratio 2.9, 95% confidence interval 0.9\u20139.0) in the small bicuspid subgroup. In pure native AR, lack of annular calcification and frequent root dilatation impair anchoring of conventional transcatheter heart valves, increasing risks of migration, embolization, residual AR, and second-valve implantation. Dedicated leaflet-anchoring devices have improved outcomes: in ALIGN-AR, the JenaValve Trilogy system achieved procedural success above 95% in high-surgical-risk patients, although evidence remains single-arm and nonrandomized. In small annuli, the strongest comparative evidence comes from the SMART trial, in which supra-annular self-expanding valves were non-inferior to balloon-expandable valves for the 12-month clinical composite and reduced moderate\/severe prosthesis\u2013patient mismatch at 30 days (11.2% vs. 35.3%). Across all three phenotypes, electrocardiography-gated computed tomography is fundamental for defining anchoring, sizing, calcium distribution, root and coronary anatomy, anticipated coronary re-access, and the feasibility of redo-TAVI. Surgery remains particularly relevant when aortic repair, annular\/root enlargement, or a more durable lifetime strategy is required. Conclusions: TAVI is feasible in selected patients with BAV stenosis, pure native AR, and small aortic annuli, but the evidentiary strength and optimal procedural strategy differ substantially across these anatomies. Treatment should be guided by an anatomy-driven, computed-tomography-based Heart Team assessment that integrates immediate procedural feasibility with age, surgical candidacy, aortopathy, prosthesis\u2013patient mismatch risk, coronary access, durability, and future reintervention options. Surgery remains the more established strategy for many younger, operable patients with unfavorable BAV morphology or aortopathy, AR with root dilatation, or very small annuli amenable to enlargement. Dedicated randomized trials, standardized imaging criteria, and long-term durability data are needed to refine lifetime management in complex aortic valve anatomy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15197452","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]],"date-time":"2026-09-24T16:29:53Z","timestamp":1790267393000},"page":"7452","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Complex Anatomy: An Anatomy-Driven Framework for Bicuspid Stenosis, Pure Aortic Regurgitation, and the Small Annulus in the Era of Lifetime Management"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9003-456X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel Miron","family":"Brie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Disease Institute Timisoara, Gheorghe Adam Street, No. 13A, 300310 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Research Center, Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Gheorghe Adam Street, No. 13A, 300310 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6096-9601","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristian","family":"Morno\u0219","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Disease Institute Timisoara, Gheorghe Adam Street, No. 13A, 300310 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Research Center, Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Gheorghe Adam Street, No. 13A, 300310 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Cardiology, \u201cVictor Babe\u0219\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy Timisoara, Eftimie Murgu Square, No. 2, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9387-1141","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roxana","family":"Popescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, \u201cVictor Babe\u0219\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Tudor Vladimirescu Street, No. 14, 300174 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"ANAPATMOL Research Center, \u201cVictor Babe\u0219\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Tudor Vladimirescu Street, No. 14, 300174 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4078-1537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alina Didu\u021ba","family":"Brie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, \u201cVictor Babe\u0219\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Tudor Vladimirescu Street, No. 14, 300174 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"ANAPATMOL Research Center, \u201cVictor Babe\u0219\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Tudor Vladimirescu Street, No. 14, 300174 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"\u201cLouis \u021aurcanu\u201d Emergency Children Hospital, Doctor Iosif Nemoianu Street, No. 2, 300011 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1350","DOI":"10.4244\/EIJ-D-25-00682","article-title":"Long-term outcomes and durability of balloon-expandable TAVI in small and large annuli","volume":"21","author":"Yamamoto","year":"2025","journal-title":"EuroIntervention"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4635","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehaf194","article-title":"2025 ESC\/EACTS Guidelines for the management of valvular heart disease: Developed by the task force for the management of valvular heart disease of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS)","volume":"46","author":"Praz","year":"2025","journal-title":"Eur.
