s/p ("status post") means that the client has had the procedure or event in the past. As in, "s/p appendectomy" means the person has had an appy; "s/p overdose" means the person took an overdose, etc. So, "deep vein thrombosis s/p inferior vena cava filter" would mean that the client has deep vein thrombosis and has had (an) inferior vena cava filter (placed). (IVC filter placement is a treatment for DVT -- the DVT came first, not after.)
