An epicardial anchor device may include a base and a hub each defining a radial slot. The hub is received within, and is rotatable relative to, the base. The radial slot of the hub defines a tether passageway for receiving a tether coupled to a prosthetic heart valve. The epicardial anchor device may have an unlocked configuration in which the radial slot of the base aligns with the radial slot of the hub so that the tether may be slid laterally through the radial slot of the base, and a locked configuration in which the radial slot of the base is out of alignment with the radial slot of the hub so that the tether cannot be slid laterally away from the radial center of the hub. Rotation of the hub may transition the epicardial anchor device from the locked to the unlocked configuration.
