Default Half dead prune tree, how to save the living part???

I have a half dead prune tree, I want to keep the living part as long as
possibly.
The trunk branches in two, one of the remaining trunk branches is dead, the
other not yet.
There once was three branches but the kids broke it of years ago.
Where they 'happened to breake' the branch the trunk is decayed, looks like
sawdust.

Which is the best way to possibly get some prunes this year too:
- remove the dead branch thereby preventing whatever desease that killed it
of the kil the rest?
- leave it as dead and thereby not 'disturb' the still living part?

Up here in mid-Sweden the prune trees has barely begun to blossom, if the
state of the tree has any influence on teh answer.

TIA
