In one implementation, the gastroesophageal tamponade comprises a body extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The body has an outer perimeter and a guide lumen extending at least partially through the body. The body comprises an aspiration lumen located at least partially between the guide lumen and the outer perimeter and an inflation lumen located at least partially between the guide lumen and the outer perimeter. A balloon extends at least partially around the body.
