A flexible heart valve prosthetic device includes a flexible frame having multiple struts disposed radially around a central axis, each strut joined at a proximal end and a distal end, a mesh band attached to each strut between their proximal ends and their distal ends, a deployable anchoring assembly having a deployable hook positioned on each strut within the mesh band, a retrieval hook positioned at the distal and/or proximal ends of the struts, and leaflets radially disposed within the mesh band. A method of releasably anchoring a flexible heart valve prosthetic within the annulus of the heart of a subject is also disclosed.
