Abstract

The authors apply the technique of decision analysis and a standard decision-tree-folding computer program to the problem of choosing treatment for a patient with an abdominal aortic aneurysm and severe coronary artery disease. Using this methodology, they are able to collate data on the surgical experience and survival of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms and patients with coronary artery disease, which allows them to determine the expected utility of aneurysm repair in a patient with both of these disease.
