A medical device for treating esophageal tissue comprises a catheter, a balloon, placeable within the esophagus of the patient, and a refrigerant. The refrigerant is deliverable into the interior of the balloon so to place the balloon into an expanded, cooled state so that the balloon can press against and cool esophageal tissue. In other examples the medical device may include means for limiting radial expansion of the balloon.
