The transplant surgery took place Friday at UCSF Medical Center, according to Nancy Pelosi’s office.

“With love and generosity my daughter Jacqueline, to whom I am endlessly grateful, is the donor,” Paul Pelosi, 84, said in a statement.

He praised the medical team at UCSF for their treatment.

“Under their guidance and the care of Nancy and our family, Jacqueline and I are on the path to a full recovery,” he said.
