The letter that the famous anatomist Johann Friedrich Meckel, Sr. sent from Berlin on May 5, 1750 to the great Albrecht von Haller (at that time resident in Göttingen) contains the earliest reference to an unusual observation made by the former. Even today this observation is considered in the clinical literature to be the first description of a coarctation of the aorta. In fact, it is probably the first description of what is known today as Lutembacher syndrome.
1750年5月5日，著名解剖学家老约翰·弗里德里希·梅克尔从柏林寄给伟大的阿尔布雷希特·冯·哈勒（当时居住在哥廷根）的信中，最早提及了前者所做的一项不同寻常的观察。即便在今天，临床文献仍将这一观察视为对主动脉缩窄的首次描述。事实上，它很可能是对如今所知的鲁腾巴赫综合征的首次描述。
